Two prominent citizens of Springfield who died last week were natives of Holland county. Edwin w. Ladd, born in Filing. ton 1929, went to that city when 2 years of age, his father removing thither. He learned the iron business with Gov Trask, afterwards was engaged at work in the car shops, aud later was engaged in real estate business. He was mayor of Springfield in 1881, and often filed city offices. The UnIon says Mir. Ladd was as faithful and honest in his public service as in his private relations, i'll hIs death Springfield loses an upright man, gnod neighbor, Q good friend and good citizen.
 Horace Kibbe, who died on Wednesday, was born in Somers in 1920, aud was for many years engaged iu candy making, at different periods associated in the firms of Summons & Kibbe, Kibbe & Crane and Kibbe Bros He taught school iu early fife. ID Holland, where he met his future wife, Miss Rox dana Chapman. H. learned The trade of build 1T, He died veal hy, and pussesse d of much r, al estatein Spriug- field. The Republic ,n says The p'-IsOu. aity of the man did mt always app, sr ou
 he surface, and the better meu came tU kno@ Horace Kibbe the more they wer- impressed with the finer qnsli les that tb,. xterior sometimes s-rved to misrr present. The maxims of Poor Re lard are not 70 popular with the modern generation Hs they might we'll be, aud Mir. Kibb- had proved many of them out of hIs own ex- perIence. These he carried into hls crit icsms of local affairs, and thereby render ed q service to the people. His work as alderman was confined to the years 1862 and 1868, when he was a member of the committees on streets and sidewalks and sewers and drains, and he gave to the important duties then in hand the same attention that went into his private busi- ness. He was for six years from 1864 faithful member of the school committee.
 The range of MT. Klbbe's sympathies was wider than people generally knew ,and his unostentatious beuefactions were dl- rected with a keen understanding of their wisdom. He was greatly interested in the Ohildren's Home, where his wife has been a faithful manager and president of the corporation. He gave the corporation a lot on Magazine street when they decided to build but when the ladies concluded to accept the gift of the Bucking ham-stree lot from Theodore Haynes, Jesse and Gus tavus Tapley and others, Mir. Kibbe promptly bought back the Magazine street lot, paying 5000 for it, although the Home paid him nothing originally. Then he took the responsibility of superintend- ing the building of the $16, 600 Home, at a sacrifice of much time. His patriotic sym. pathies were reused during the war period, and he gave money to aid in sending sold iers to the front. Na afsn ..as t..

 Mansfield has taken considerable local pride in it's excellent drum corps, but the seeds of disintegration have sprouted in the organization, and the Mansfield drum corps will soon be pleasing remembrance, rather than a ruba-dub reality.

CAIRO.

EVEN Cairo, for many years neglect

booming. Time was when Cairo had
prospects second TO no city in the west,
and men who were far-seeing and
shrewd in business said that it would
one day be rival of New York But
those were the days of steamboats, and
Cairo had magnificent Waterways Sit
uated, as it is, at the confluence of the
Mississippi and the Ohio rivers. But
the railroads came and everything was
changed and Cairo was almost forgot

ChuzZlewit has always been understood

we're alive now he would be compelled
to admit that the dreams of the found

A GRAND CONCOU.RSE.
I,oval Citizens Gather to Celebrate
Memorial Day - The Larg-
est Procession Ever
Formed in Great
3 n d.

The remembrance of May 80, 1857,
will be to our citizens source OF
pleasure for many a day and will help
to keep green the memory of departed
ones. to whose honor the large con-
course of people gathered. The day
was reasonably fair, the only disagree
able feature being the northwest wind,
which made it unpleasant driving out
side the sprinkled streets.
Members of the G.. A. r. and its
branches met at their hall and at 2
O'Clock marched to the opera house r.
appropriate music by the Cit" aps,
band. At the hall the exer~ COG wore
opened by song fro +ba choir Sc
lected for the Occasion followed nv
prayer ~ lev. S. II. Enyeart, music
''ii" i address by Rev. Bosworth and
-Iusic by the band.
The procession then formed on
Broadway in the following order: The
Citizens band, Pap Thomas Post, u.
a. r., Women's Relief Corps, Sons OF
Veterans, Mayor and City Council and
citizens in vehicles. The procession
then moved to the cemetery, where q
handsome cross some ten feet high had
been placed, around which the G. A
r. boys assembled. AT the foot OF
this cross were piled the flowers to be
laid upon the soldiers graves.
The services here in commemoration
of the dead were very impressive. a
detail of the @. a. r. marched to the
different graves of departed comrades
and distributed the tributes of flowers
with willing hands. Three volleys OF
musketry were fired by the Sons OF
! Veterans and the ceremonies were
over.
1t is estimated that there were from
1900 to 1000 on the grounds and &
large number were in town that die
not go out to the cemetery. AT least 26(
vehicles were in the procession-mOr
perhaps, than ever before formed III {
procession in Great Bend. No casu
ality occurred, which was great won
der, considering the great number OF
teams and the closeness with which
they were packed on the streets.

BARTON COUNTY DEMOCRAT
OFFICIAL PAPER Or BARTON COUNTY
GREAT BEND, !: KAS

HUTCHINSON estimates a crowd of
$4,000 on Memorial Day. Hutchinson
is hard one to down when it comes to
estimating one of her assemblages.
THE Capital says that nearly one
hundred Boston capitalists have bought
real estate near Topeka and they in
tend to set to work without delay to
make Topeka one of the great cities of
the west.
WE SEE from some of our exchanges
that the counties of Kingman, Reno
and Harper. are turning their atten-
ton to growing cotton. 1t is entirely
within the range of possibilities that
many counties along the Arkansas
river may raise fine crops of cotton IN
the future.
Two reports from Kinsley differ con-
siderably in estimating the crowd at
memorial exercises last Monday. The
first was to the effect that there were
about 200 in attendance. The next
report states that there were at j.
1000. Evidently the good roo,1o Of
Kinsley had not heard f" IN, pe;abhor-
ing towns when r. ,ev cont ont their
first estimate.
FNV% all parts of the state the news
en|ies that Memorial day was duly OBJ
served with appropriate services. This
country can never forget her gallant
defenders who at the call of duty
marched TO the bloody fray, many of
them yielding up their lives as a sacri-
flee for the nations good. 1t is espe-
cially fitting that Kansas, the soldier
state, should honor the sleeping heroes
by decking their narrow homes with
the earliest offerings of spring.
COAL has been found, so rumOr says,
in Rush county. We have often said
that it was our belief that all western
Kansas is underlaid with vast coal
field. And we are not surprised that
it should be found in Rush county
This ought to urge our people to re-
newed activity in regard to boring for
coal and natural gas. 1t may be that
we shall have to go to considerable
depth to find coal or gas, but we are
firm in the belief that it can be found.
WESTERN Kansas is destined to be
one of the finest agricultural countries
in the world. That it will be season.
able in few years is no longer problem
attic. 1t is true that farming has not
yet been tried as fully as might be, but
-. sOwed for the past two years, there
have they reaped also. The old idea
that this beautiful country was made
for the purpose of grazing only, is fast
disappearing. A few years more and
waving corn fields will greet ones eye
from here to the western border of the
state.
THERE was certainly never a period
in the history of Great Bend when the
citizens could look forward with as
much hopefulness as now. We have
already two great railroads centering
here, and exorbitant freight rates is a
thing of the past. a second line of
the Santa Fe will soon give us direct
communication with Denver and the
fertile Walnut Valley. 1t is only q
question of time when the Missouri
Pacific will be extended either south or
southwest from its present terminus at
this place. Everything points with
unerring certainty to this as the future
railroad center of central Kansas.
